Great work on half tones... I know if I can get this down my prints will go next level ! Now more personally... when you dropped your screen and turned and smiled at the camera I saw your heart... you are a real person and that means more then anything! Keep being you my friend! I'm subscribing to all your channels... ! I have a small fb page and Instagram but not much content! Romans 623 Designs God bless!
Thank You Amigo, I appreciate your comment. And yes, I'm basically learning as I go and this was a halftone print that went better than I expected. I was literally jumping inside when I printed this. I also appreciate you subscribing, I'm currently working on another halftone video but with 2 colors. Stay posted.
You are an inspiration! You work with what you have and with the kids at home but you keep doing what you love! I have no excuses now for putting off screen printing.
Great job Antonio, amigo. I love watching your video screen tutorials. Love your English accent and your true candid personality. I am going to try my first half tone printing today. Greetings from the Philippines. Stay safe amigo.
@@TheInkBuildUp I printed the John Lennon shirt 3 times already but I still got smudges. Maybe I am putting too much pressure on my squeegee or probably the ink I use. But I will keep on trying until I get the result I am looking for. I will get a new brand of ink today and will keep on trying. Again, gracias for all your tutorial videos amigo. Stay safe and God bless.
Mi querido hermano, José de Puerto Rico. Verdaderamente admiro lo que estás haciendo. Los equipos y Herramientas hacen falta, pero el deseo, la voluntad y la determinación de lograr algo está por encima de todo. Trabajé muchos años en talleres grandes y tengo mi propio taller en la actualidad. Porque te digo esto....mucho de esos talleres no hacen lo que to con lo más mínimo has logrado. Le pido a Dios que te continúe bendiciendo en gran manera. Llegarás muy lejos si te mantienes luchando sin descansar. Un abrazo des de PUERTO RICO. Tienes un hermano acá.
I love the hustle and motivation !!! I recently took a step back from screen printing but im ready to jump back in the game watching you. Screen printers never quit!!! keep doing Gods work, You are a inspiration to many.
Te felicito...gran trabajo,teniendo encuenta tus limitaciones de equipo. Imagino cuanto mas puedes hacer con mas adecuado equipo. Continua tu buen trabajo.
My goal was to learn how to create halftone to show my high school students in Brooklyn. I learned how to teach them screen filler/drawing fluid method but I wanted to go on to more detailed images for T-shirts. I watched a bunch of videos but your was so simple and I think my students will relate more than the fancy videos out there that don't make no sense at all. RIP? Illustrator? WTF? I love that you are doing it in your basement or garage and that no mistakes slow you down and it's great that you show your true self. Props amigo! I'm gonna make my film positive and burn the screen then try to print. Thanks! Ill try and share it.
Thank You, I'm very pleased at your comment and the fact that my video was very helpful. And yes, please share, I will be very happy to see your print.
Great stuff! I have not tried half tone print yet. I’m still trying to figure out the emulsion part. I use Chroma Blue which is very thin. If you dry at an uneven surface the emulsion goes to that side. But I figured out today to put the emulsion and then scoop out the excess to make a thinner coat. Worked like a charm. If you ever pass through El Paso,Tx. Hit me up. I’m thinking of starting a channel soon.
I smooth my emulsion out with an old insurance card when I encounter those problems when I coat my screens. I'm pretty new to printing but it seems to work.
Good job Antonio. I have many family members with the same name. Anyways, the formula for the LPI/Frequency is the Mesh Count divided by 5. So, if you're using a 305 mesh count frame, divide by 5 or about a Frequency of 61. The Angle is self explanatory. 22 degrees would be 22 degrees of a 360 degrees circle. So the dots, diamonds or lines would be at a slight angle of 22 degrees, not straight up and down. Again, great video.
Love the video, homie! I've been screenprinting for a bit, but now that we're on lockdown in MI cuz of the coronavirus, I've been trying to spend my time learning more (and better) techniques. Subscribed to your channel! Thanks for the tutorial!
Awesome, good way to use this bad situation to turn it to something productive. Glad my videos help out. I will soon be making another video on halftones but with 2 colors. Stay posted Amigo.
Love it ,great video and tips, muy buen video gracias te voy a copier este proyecto ya que deseo printiar mi primer screen printing y buscando ideas di con tu tutorial gracias hermano y muchas bendiciones
Gracias, y no problema. Me da gusto que esté vídeo va ayudar. Si puedes compartir tu impresión cuando lo haces, será genial. Me gustaría demostrarlo en videos en el futuro.
Thanks for the info dude, I admire what you go thru in having a great printing job. I've been always afraid of too much light after coating my screens however seeing you, it makes me feel better and a little bit of light won't expose the screen. Keep it up and God Bless You !!!!
No problem Amigo. Glad my video helped out in a way. I as well was very worry about my screens accidentally exposing but now knowing a little light won't hurt, I work more calmly.
Great print. I watched to remember how to do half tones in photoshop, but I subscribed because I can tell you love to print! Washing the screen out with a water bottle was amazing. And doing the film on the “vellum” paper was how I started. You reminded me I love printing too, and that it’s more than just for money. Keep up the good work man!
Ok so I got my screens in had to try this by the time I got set up my ink got cold in my garage and it was thick hard to press but anyways here is my fail will try again this weekend. Thanks for showing us how to do this.
@@TheInkBuildUp si amigo😁...after o was told it won't work I decided to just try it anyway.....i mean for a beginner I'm impress. It's not as perfect if it were to be done on a higher mesh count but for 110👍
@@tamaryisrael3480 Yea, I mean I did mine at 45lpi which is kind of big Halftones but still came out good. I may end up trying with smaller Halftones on a future design.
Gracias. Y pues yo llevaba mi papel Albanene, y solo les dije que me lo imprimieran a tamaño doble carta ya que ese era el tamaño de mi papel. Les digo que lo quiero en blanco y negro. Lo imprimen en impresora laser ya que el Albanene si se arruina si se moja con tinta de inkjet.
I print on laser paper and use corn oil to make the paper transparent and burn the image on the silk screen using the sun. I will try it with these half tones it looks easier to do than with CMYK prints or burns. Muchas Gracias amigo.
Yes, I've seen people do that, I haven't tried it yet. But I did started out exposing with the sun. Good way if you don't an exposure unit. And awesome to give these halftones a try Amigo.
Love it...that came out great.....im also waiting on my printer to come next month...then I'm trying out half tones...im also new at this but you inspire me.
Thanks Amigo. And glad that it inspires you. We all need that. I'm just glad I made this channel because basically viewers like you motivate me into keep making videos which means, it pushes me to do more things in screen printing, that otherwise, i would of mostly likely not. So thank you.
Great. I been waiting to upgrade my designs to something like this. I knew most of this I just didn't know the calculations for sceen mesh count. Cool beans. Keep up the good work 👏 from Indigenous north
Thanks. But I did not use the Pixma for this print. I had this film print at office depot. But the Pixma prints way better films than going to office depot.
Give you props bro cause Burning halftone from albanene you got to know what you're doing. Good job Brother.Thanks for the video Cause I do everything except the computer color sep and design something I have to learn.Orale es todo carnal Cause thats I get down Right now I burn under the Sun. Spray bottle to wash out... Sánchez and Excel ink you cannot run direct always use reducer. Bless.
Thanks Amigo. And yea, I'm surprised as well that it came out pretty good for using Albanene paper for the film. But luckily I'm slowly improving my shop. I appreciate every new equipment I get more knowing how difficult it was before.
Hello, will this work on a grey shirt or do I have to invert the image. I wanna try this with a grey shirt with black ink. Any help would be appreciated thanks 😇
Have you done a Q&A video? lol I have lots of questions you might have already answered: 1. What was that film? 2. Do you take your own film to Office Depot? Do they print with a laser or inkjet? How much do they charge? Seems like you can do a whole video on that process. Nice way to get into this game cheap without committing to an expensive printer for transparencies!
Hello Amigo. Haven't done a Q&A, but the questions you just ask is basically the video I'm about to do. But I will still answer. The paper I used is call "Albanene" it's also known as tracing paper, vegetable paper, and onion. And this paper I go to office Depot where they print on laser since if you use inkjet, the paper gets wet and gets ruined. As for the price they charge me, it's like a few cents. Can't remember exactly. But I will make a video about it. Oh here's a video where I talk about the paper. th-cam.com/video/yH80Ysneeyc/w-d-xo.html
